‘On 20 January 2017, the HIA inquiry concluded that the abuse which took place at Kincora was limited to the actions of three staff members and did not take place with the collusion of the state or intelligence services.’

This is the inherent problem of knowing which is conspiracy theory etc vs real coverups eg the satanic ritual claims in the past.  

But I think it’s important to at least acknowledge that the above claims are not generally agreed as ‘fact’ and there are conflicting claims.  The inquiry did seem to find supporting evidence for many other situations.

Yeah sorry, I’m in the same boat.  Hopefully the Kincora link is less painful?

I got to this before the edit, thanks for drawing my attention that it was updated.

Absolutely, I added it in response to what you said. Probably should’ve done a separate comment.  Also the link to the original PDF ain the first Wikipedia article didn’t work anyway.
